Are you planning a wedding? Are you planning a small, more intimate wedding at city hall? Not all brides want a 100 plus wedding, some want a wedding ceremony that just includes the bride and groom. So, if you're not planning a destination wedding, going to city hall is absolutely ideal. However, what do you wear? Wedding and Party Network has a few ideas on what to wear to your city hall wedding.
For The Dress – The most popular way to go is with short, chic white dresses. Going with simple attire, like dresses you can actually wear again besides your wedding is a great style to follow for your city hall wedding. There are various dresses that will truly make a statement at your city hall wedding. Choose from little beaded dresses that resemble 1920's flapper style dresses or a dress that has delicate beading and a tulle skirt. Look towards what's in style. For example, lace is a big trend now. Lace sheath dresses or skater dresses in white or cream are definitely chic numbers you can wear to your wedding. Keep in mind chic and elegant for your wedding dress.
For The Shoes – Since most wedding gowns that you are going to be looking at are short, it's important that you find the right shoes as well. Again, go with something simple. A champagne or nude colored peep toe pumps or slingbacks will definitely make a statement with your dress. Even look for shoes that have delicate beading. However, if you really want to show off your style, choose printed shoes or colored ones that will definitely add an accent to your wedding dress.
For The Accessories – Your wedding accessories need to be kept to a minimal. Depending on the neckline of your dress, you may want to go with a simple pearl necklace. However, if you have a higher neckline, you may skip the necklace and opt for simple earrings. Keep your look simple, yet elegant. This makes a true statement.
So, if you are planning your wedding to take place at city hall, opt for a simple, yet chic wedding gown. When you are purchasing your wedding dress, ask yourself if you can wear it again. Keep it simple and your wedding day look will be absolutely fabulous.

The veil is especially important. How do you choose though with so many types of wedding veils? Well, Wedding and Party Network has your wedding veil guide.
Blusher –This type of veil is short in length and made with only one layer of material. The blusher veil covers the face prior to the ceremony, used to hide the face from the groom. It pairs nice with any type of wedding gown.
Bouffant –A bouffant wedding veil is a shorter veil that touches the shoulders of the bride. This type of wedding veil was popular in the 60's and great for shorter haircuts, which makes it suitable for simple wedding gowns, even short.
Flyaway –The flyaway veil is less formal than chapel and cathedral, which is made from several layers of material. It is shorter and is made for more simple gowns.
Mantilla – Mantilla wedding veils are not gathered at all. They are large flat circles or ovals, which are great for Spanish inspired wedding gowns or traditional gowns. The sheerness of this veil helps the wedding gown in the back show through.
Ballerina or Waltz – A wedding veil that can be referred as both features material, such as tulle, that falls between the bride's knees and her ankles.
Shoulder –This type of wedding veil hits right at the shoulders. This type of veil is for simple gowns. However, can be made with multiple layers.
Elbow –The elbow wedding veil falls right to the elbow in length. It can also have one or two layers, which two layers make it stand up more. When choosing this wedding veil, make sure that your wedding dress is longer rather than a shorter one.
Waist – A wedding veil that hits at the bride's waist. Can be made with multiple layers and is for any type of gown, whether it be simple or more formal.
Fingertip – A fingertip styled veil is exactly what you're thinking. It's a veil that reaches to the fingertips. This style can work with a lot of different styled wedding gowns. Casual, modern to formal wedding gowns; a fingertip veil can work.
Knee –The knee-length wedding gown is just how it sounds, it hits at the knee. It can have multiple layers and is great for any style of wedding gown.
Chapel –This isn't quite as long as the cathedral wedding veil (below). It's 2 1/2 years from the headpiece to the end. This reaches the ground, however, doesn't drag behind. Great for a formal type wedding.

In the modern bridal wardrobe the dress comes first, then the veil or headpiece, and next are the shoes. But what part, if any, did shoes play in the past? The idea behind tossing the garter or the bouquet came from the times when brides were treated as property and guests would rip off pieces of her wedding gown to ward of spirits, and in hope to bring themselves good luck.
As brides became less like a piece of property, brides took to throwing their shoes. Then, as time passed, brides began throwing their bouquets. I suspect the change came because of two reasons: shoes are expensive, and bridal bouquets hurt less when you're hit by them. In Egypt brides were considered property of the father. The father of the bride would give the groom the bride's sandals signifying that groom now has possession over her.In jolly old England, the tradition of something blue was done by wearing blue shoes. Queen Victoria in 1840 is credited with being the first famous bride to wear white shoes.
I am told that an old tradition in Armenia is catching on again. Some one steals one of the bride's shoes, and the maid of honor and the best man have to pay a ransom to get the shoes back so the wedding can take place. Another old Armenian tradition is one where the bride writes her bridesmaids' names on her shoes, and as each gets married she cross their name off.
Shoes have played a supporting role in weddings since weddings have taken place. I suggest one thing, whether your going with an old tradition or doing something non-traditional, you should at least be comfortable.
Stroll into any flea market and you will find dozens of brooches tucked away in glass cabinets and corners. Always eclectic, sometimes sparkly, these eye-catching trinkets hook countless shoppers who wish for a good reason to pick these little guys up. Until recently, aside from making a fashion statement, there has been little use for vintage brooches.
Thankfully, with the emergence of the DIY weddings and eco-friendly wedding design, brooches are a great way to create unity and add a fun touch to a ceremony or reception. The possibilities for these glittery gems are truly endless!
Flowers
A touch of vintage sparkle is the perfect compliment to any floral design. Contemporary or traditional, all wedding flower arrangements can be punched up with the addition one (or several!) brooches. Attach them to blooms, ribbons, or stems of flowers in centerpieces, on top of napkins, or in a bouquet. They won't detract from the arrangement; instead, they will add a oodles of character to your flowers! A few bold brides are even creating all-brooch bouquets!
Table Decor
Press brooches into inexpensive candles for a high-end look. Attach them to napkin rings for added embellishment, or lay them intermittently down the center of the table among centerpieces and candles for a glittery, elegant effect.
Wedding Attire
Creative brides are adorning their hair, dresses, and bridal party with brooches. Attach them to hair combs for a vintage look, or create a small cluster on a sash around the waist; brooches add romance to any style. Small ones can even be used on the groom's boutonniere. Brooches can take a wedding ensemble from plain to modern classic.
They don't have to match, and they cost next to nothing. Brooches are the perfect addition to any wedding design, thanks to their versatility and charm. Picking up a little nostalgia is a modern way to make your wedding day special!
